This project allows for the control of water balance as well as the state of lakes, including siltation, flooding, and drying out.
To comprehensively analyze the ecological situation of Kyiv's water bodies, the municipal enterprise ‘Pleso’ is actively implementing a water level monitoring system, as reported by the company.
This approach enables the monitoring of water balance and the condition of lakes as well as their siltation, flooding, or drying out. All these aspects are essential for the monitoring program, which allows for detailed information about the state of water resources to be obtained.
A year ago, a similar monitoring system was introduced at the Rusanivska strait, with daily data available on the ‘Pleso’ website. Continuing this work, we have expanded monitoring to include new water bodies.
Currently, measurements are being taken at the following locations: Synye Lake, Holube Lake, the cascade of lakes Opichen (Ptyashyne Lake, Yordanske Lake, Kyrylivske Lake, Andriivske Lake, Luhove Lake, Minsk Lake), Vira Lake, Bulhakova Lake, Raidozhne Lake, the Pochayna River, the cascade of lakes along M. Bazhana Avenue, the cascade of lakes in the Troieshchyna neighborhood, the Sobache Hyrlo bay, and the Rusanivska strait.
Water level measurements are carried out by qualified specialists at fixed intervals, taking into account the Baltic height system.
Currently, ‘Pleso’ together with the Department of Environmental Protection and Climate Change Adaptation of the Kyiv City State Administration, ‘Informatyka’ and KTS (a specialized municipal enterprise ‘Kyiv Tele Service’) are actively working on the implementation of automatic depth sensors.
This will allow for the integration of the collected data into the information and communication system ‘City Integration Platform,’ ensuring convenient access to information.
